Spring has Sprung throughout the land, and although we are still on quarantine, we are also on spring break right now. And we are bound and determined to make it a good one full of magic and excitement. To kick off our break, we decided to welcome spring, fairy style. So we created some fairy wings with a little cardboard, paint and ribbon. Inspiration Next, we make some easy peasy fairy wands with items all found at Walmart. (Cha-ching!) We grabbed a package of dowels and ribbon and voila! Fairy Mail Company is the CUTEST little company that sends magic fairy mail to your house. (Perfect for quarantine eh?) We got the sweetest little letter in the mail from the fairy, Clementine, along with a list for a nature scavenger hunt. They has so many different options of letters to send your little one, or you can even do a subscription where you can get WEEKLY deliveries. Um yes please! Last, but DEFINITELY not least, we used our findings from our scavenger hunt to create the cutest fairy ...

  Don't let that little face fool you, this little sweetie pie was in HEAVEN when we threw her a kitten party this year. I still cant believe she is THREE! Are ya 'kitten' me?!     If you know me, you know that I love to plan parties and go a bit overboard. Ok a lot overboard. (Remember this party? Or this one?) So when I was trying to figure out what to do for Miss Posey's party this year, I knew it had to be good. I love puns and she loves animals of all sorts so having a "She's turning three, are ya KITTEN me?" party seemed like a match made in heaven, but ONLY if I could find someone with kittens and would allow them to come visit a bunch of crazy kids at a party. (Am I crazy, or am I crazy?) Luckily everything went peachy and no kitties were harmed in the making of this party. Do Your Own Kitten Party! For our menu, we had three kinds of milk; white, chocolate and strawberry. Cheese and crackers (with a little decorative mouse nibbling on them) Meat...

It may sound uniCORN-Y, but I sure love this little girl!  Not too long ago, this little sweetheart made me a mama and here we are five years later, (FIVE YEARS!?) celebrating with the most epic Unicorn Party I've ever seen. Below all these darling photos by Addie with Utah Alternative Photography , I included some tips/tricks and ideas so you can throw your own magical unicorn party.  TIPS/TRICKS/INSPIRATION for Your Own Unicorn Party: Food: -We requested pastel colored dough from our local bakery and made simple bread sticks, Pizza Factory style. (Wrapped around a stick/dowel from Hobby Lobby.) Roll it out, cut in strips, wrapped around stick, bake, brush on butter and salt to taste. Can you say, "Easy?" -Rainbow Salsa from Gimme Some Oven . (Delicious! TRY IT NOW!)  -Rainbow Unicorn (Fruit) Dip from Chocolate Covered Katie.   -My mom made the cake and it totally reminds me of the cake on Sleeping Beauty before the three fairies use their magic. ...

I have a problem. I like to collect things. Movies, clothes, thimbles, makeup, memories, etc. But lately I like to collect annual passes. They are perfect when you need activities with the kids, especially in the winter. (Heaven help us this chilly season.) We recently got the chance to get a pass to The Leonardo in downtown SLC and and the kids loved it. And I think you would too. If you stick around to the end, I have a special offer for your own annual pass. Welcome to The Leonardo The Leonardo is an interactive art, science and technology museum inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. Their exhibits are hands-on and thought-provoking to inspire visitors to learn like da Vinci did: through interaction and exploration!  Right now they have an awesome exhibit called Flight where you can learn all about the science and technology it takes to fly. Whether it's an aircraft, flight simulators or jetpacks, the Leonardo has got you covered.  They also have a fantastic art studio t...

Disneyland has always been my first love and nothing describes how magical it was taking my babies there and seeing it through their eyes for the first time. Absolute magic! Although we haven't been to Disneyland in awhile, it's never too far from my heart. Last time we went was two years ago during their Halloween festivities. Since that time of year is coming up, I thought some of my tips could help someone else's dream vacation be a good one.  Disneyland with a Baby Tip #1: Planning your Stay Depending on your needs, there are many blog posts, articles and suggestions of places to stay during your visit to the Disney parks. Our group consisted of Gavin and I, Paisley, Monroe (ages 2 and 10 weeks) Grandparents and Aunties traveling from Utah to Anaheim during the month of October. With six adults and two really little babies, we wanted to stay somewhere close to the park, but needed more space than a hotel had to offer. We also wanted a kitchen so we could make meals an...
